Luke 22:51

49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

50 And ^aone of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

52 ^aThen Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a ^brobber, with swords and clubs?

53 When I was with you daily in the ^atemple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your ^bhour, and the power of darkness.”

Luke 22:51

Suffer ye thus far - Or, Suffer me to go thus far. As they had now a firm hold of Christ, Matthew 26:50, he wished them to permit him to go as far as Malchus, whose ear was cut off, that he might heal it. See the objections brought against this interpretation answered by Kypke; and see the examples he produces. However, the words may be understood as an address to his disciples: Let them proceed; make no resistance; for in this way only are the Scriptures to be fulfilled.
